Working with a facilitator, we identified needs in the community and set goals to address them. Roseville is changing; we <br />see this in our schools and in our neighborhoods. Although Roseville is a welcoming community, we hear of incidents that make the <br />community less welcoming than we should be, and some people may not know how to become civically engaged in our <br />community. <br />a. Goal <br />The Commission set a goal to improve civic engagement at the <br />neighborhood level and with underrepresented groups. We <br />want to establish a project that brings diverse group of people <br />together in anon-threatening environment and develop a <br />framework for future civic engagement efforts and thoughtful <br />discussions about our community. <br />• <br />b. Expected Outcomes <br />',We plan to hold one or more events targeting neighborhoods <br />and/or interest groups. Through our efforts participants will <br />gain a better understanding and acceptance of others who may <br />have differing life experiences. We will also help them to learn <br />how to effectively involve themselves in civic governance. <br />P~tJe i continue io next page <br />
